The Departed
Scorsese worst film ever, so say I.
Finally…a use for kickstarter
Maybe someone could digitally erase all of “Shutter Island” while they’re at it, a movie so dumb my brain still hurts to think about it!
It’s so ham-fisted even Ralph Wiggum noticed it:
Reasonable men can disagree. Scorsese has a lot of films in his oeuvre that I think are worse, The Aviator, Gangs of New York, Kundun, and yet these films are still better than a lot of other directors best work.
Outside “Taxi Driver” and “Goodfellas”, there isn’t much of his work that I’m particularly fond of.
Damn, I hated that overrated movie.
in regards to Scorcese…he has only done 3 movies in my world: The Color of Money, Goodfellas, and Casino.
As far as removing the rat in this scene…wtf-ever. If that is the useless shit someone has the excess cash to throw at and spend an ounce of energy debating good on you for it I guess. I’ll be over here sipping bourbon.
Next mission - add the unfinished deleted scenes back into Galaxy Quest.
Admittedly, though, centering the image on the golden dome of the Boston State House is also very hamfisted: an image of the shining, incorruptible “city on the hill” prophesied by the Puritans yet never more than glimpsed by the denizens of the movie’s criminal underworld. Scorsese isn’t a very subtle filmmaker!
Jeeze I thought the Departed was rather good. King’s of New York not so much. This seems stupid tho. I think the potato salad campaign was more interesting/useful.
Is there a Kickstarter to redub the lines in English?
I recently saw it for the first time. I should have done something else.
How about a Kickstarter to replace The Departed with Infernal Affairs?
I’ve never seen the King of Comedy. Is it good?
Well, that’s three more than I’ve ever made.
Regardless of if people liked it or not. it is not their film to change.
Just saying
The Stephen Chow movie from 1998? It’s hilarious.
I notice the Kickstarter doesn’t mention how he’s going to obtain the rights to a major Hollywood movie. I guess he’ll just say “fair use” and post a 2-minute video on Youtube and call it a day?
